Genesis

Gen 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.
Gen 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!

Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
Gen 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
Gen 2:16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

Gen 3:9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Gen 3:11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
Gen 3:17 And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.

Gen 4:4 Abel also brought a gift—the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift,
Gen 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”
Gen 4:13 Cain replied to the Lord, “My punishment is too great for me to bear!
Gen 4:14 You have banished me from the land and from your presence; you have made me a homeless wanderer.

Gen 5:23 Enoch lived 365 years, 24 walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Gen 5:29 Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”

Gen 6:3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh.
Gen 6:5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.
Gen 6:6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found favor with the Lord.
Gen 6:9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close
fellowship with God.
Gen 6:18 But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
Gen 6:22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Gen 7:1 When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
Gen 7:5 So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.
Gen 7:20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose.
Gen 7:21 And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.
Gen 7:8 Then God told Noah and his sons, Gen 7:9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,
Gen 7:16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”
Gen 7:17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

Gen 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. Gen 12:2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Gen 12:4 So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him.
Gen 12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Gen 12:17 But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

Gen 13:9 ...If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.”

Gen 14:16 Abram recovered all the goods that had been taken, and he brought back his nephew Lot with his possessions and all the women and other captives.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.
Gen 14:19 Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God
Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Gen 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, who has defeated your enemies for you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.
Gen 14:22 Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I solemnly swear to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, Gen 14:23 that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say, ‘I am the one who made Abram rich.’

Gen 15:1 Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.”
Gen 15:6 And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Gen 15:17 After the sun went down and darkness fell, Abram saw a smoking firepot and a flaming torch pass between the halves of the carcasses. Gen 15:18 So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day.

Gen 16:8 The angel said to her, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
Gen 16:9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.”
Gen 16:11 You are to name him Ishmael (which means ‘God hears’), for the Lord has heard your cry of distress.
Gen 16:13 Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?”

Gen 17:1.....“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.
Gen 17:2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”
Gen 17:7 “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Gen 17:9 Then God said to Abraham, “Your responsibility is to obey the terms of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility.
Gen 17:13 ... Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.

Gen 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Gen 18:18 “For Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.
Gen 18:19 I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”
Gen 18:25 Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
Gen 18:26 And the Lord replied, “If I find fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”
Gen 18:27...let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.

Gen 19:13 For we are about to destroy this city completely. The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the Lord, and he has sent us to destroy it.”
Gen 19:19 “You have been so gracious to me and saved my life, and you have shown such great kindness.
Gen 19:29 But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain.

Gen 20:6 In the dream God responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me,
Gen 21:6 And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.
Gen 21:20 And God was with the boy as he grew up in the wilderness. He became a skillful archer,
Gen 21:22 ...“God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do,” bimelech said.
Gen 21:33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he worshiped the Lord, the Eternal God.

Gen 22:12.....for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.”
Gen 22:13....“On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
Gen 22:16 “This is what the Lord says: Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your son, your only son,..
Gen 22:18 And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”

Gen 24:7 For the Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and my native land, solemnly promised to give this land to my descendants. He will send his angel ahead of you, ...
Gen 24:12 “O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham.
Gen 24:26 The man bowed low and worshiped the Lord. 27 “Praise the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham,” he said. “The Lord has shown unfailing love and faithfulness to my master,...
Gen 24:35 “And the Lord has greatly blessed my master; he has become a wealthy man.
Gen 24:40‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived, will send his angel with you and will make your mission successful.
Gen 24:48 “Then I bowed low and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham....
Gen 24:50 “The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.

Gen 25:21 Isaac pleaded with the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children. The Lord answered Isaac’s prayer,
Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.

Gen 26:2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt, but do as I tell you.
Gen 26:12 When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.
Gen 26:22“At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”
Gen 26:24 where the Lord appeared to him on the night of his arrival. “I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will do this because of my promise to Abraham, my servant.”
Gen 26:28 They replied, “We can plainly see that the Lord is with you.
Gen 26:29..And now look how the Lord has blessed you!”

Gen 28:12 As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.
Gen 28:15 I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
Gen 28:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!”
Gen 28:17 But he was also afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God, the very gateway to heaven!”
Gen 28:19 He named that place Bethel (which means “house of God”),

Gen 29:32 She named him Reuben, for she said, “The Lord has noticed my misery, ...
Gen 29:35 She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!”

Gen 30:6 Rachel named him Dan, for she said, “God has vindicated me! He has heard my request...
Gen 30:11 Leah named him Gad, for she said, “How fortunate I am!”
Gen 30:17 And God answered Leah’s prayers.
Gen 30:20...for she said, “God has given me a good reward.
Gen 30:23 ...“God has removed my disgrace,”
Gen 30:27...for the Lord has blessed me because of you.

Gen 31:5 ...But the God of my father has been with me.
Gen 31:6 ... But God has not allowed him to do me any harm.
Gen 31:13 I am the God who appeared to you at Bethel, the place where you anointed the pillar of stone and made your vow to me.
Gen 31:16 ...So go ahead and do whatever God has told you.”
Gen 31:42 In fact, if the God of my father had not been on my side—the God of Abraham and the fearsome God of Isaac...
Gen 31:49 “May the Lord keep watch between us to make sure that we keep this covenant when we are out of each other’s sight.
Gen 31:50 God will see it even if no one else does. He is a witness to this covenant between us.

Gen 32:2 “This is God’s camp!” So he named the place Mahanaim.
Gen 32:10 I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant.
Gen 32:24 This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.
Gen 32:26 But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Gen 32:28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
Gen 32:30 Jacob named the place Peniel (which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.”

Gen 33:10 ....And what a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the face of God!
Gen 33:11 ...for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.”

Gen 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, “Get ready and move to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you ...
Gen 35:3 We are now going to Bethel, where I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Gen 35:7 Jacob built an altar there and named the place El-bethel (which means “God of Bethel”), because God had appeared to him there ...
Gen 35:10 ...“Your name is Jacob, but you will not be called Jacob any longer. From now on your name will be Israel.” So God renamed him Israel.
Gen 35:11 Then God said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Be fruitful and multiply.
Gen 35:14 Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him...
Gen 35:15 And Jacob named the place Bethel (which means “house of God”), because God had spoken to him there.

Gen 38:7 But Er was a wicked man in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord took his life.

Gen 39:2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.
Gen 39:3 Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.
Gen 39:5 From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake.
Gen 39:9 ...How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
Gen 39:21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.
Gen 39:23 ...The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.

Gen 40:15 ...and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.”

Gen 41:16 “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”
Gen 41:32 ...it means that these events have been decreed by God, and he will soon make them happen.
Gen 41:38 ...“Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”
Gen 41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are.
Gen 41:51 Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father’s family.”
Gen 41:52 Joseph named his second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief.”

Gen 42:18 ...Joseph said to them, “I am a God-fearing man.

Gen 43:14 May God Almighty give you mercy as you go before the man,...

Gen 45:5 But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.
Gen 45:7 ...God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors.
Gen 45:8 So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.
Gen 45:9 ...‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me master over all the land of Egypt.

Gen 48:3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.
Gen 48:11 Then Jacob said to Joseph, “I never thought I would see your face again, but now God has let me see your children, too!”
Gen 48:15 ... the God who has been my shepherd all my life, to this very day,
Gen 48:16 the Angel who has redeemed me from all harm ...

Gen 49:18 I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!
Gen 49:24 ... and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
Gen 49:25 May the God of your father help you; May the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, ...

Gen 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
Gen 50:24 ... “but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt.
